Analyse

Casas missed time during the 2024 season due to torn cartilage in his left rib cage, though this setback appears unrelated. He hasn't undergone an MRI and will be re-evaluated in a few days. The first baseman is on the 10-day injured list as he continues his recovery from patellar tendon surgery and faces an uncertain timetable. If the intercostal issue is deemed serious enough of a setback, Casas will be a candidate to shift to the 60-day IL.
